Chapter 90: ONCE BROTHERS“Burn me alive, Maeve. Hurt me. Break me! But don’t go — don’t fucking go — don’t make me live in a world where you’re not mine.”Maeve was the scrawny mate Alpha Ivan never wanted. He was unfeeling. His family mocked her. His pack shamed her. And when she miscarried their child, he called her careless—then made her best friend his breeder.Maeve left that night without a word. But what no one knew? She was still pregnant. A miracle from the goddess.Years later, Ivan is seconds from crowning his breeder as Luna and claiming the Alpha throne… when Maeve walks into the ceremony. Not the weak girl he threw away—but the kingdom’s most famous healer, rivaled by none, with a child who looks just like him.The bond he thought was dead still exists. The mate he rejected? Stronger than ever. And the heir he thought he lost? Still very much alive.Now Ivan wants them back. But Maeve didn’t return for love. She came to destroy the empire that spit her out. And this time, she’s not alone. She has his greatest enemy by her side.
Chapter 117: RUN LIKE A COWARDValoria was the omega who couldn't shift — the pack freak no one wanted. Her fated mate chose her sister on the altar. Her father's solution? Hand her over as a spare bride to Lycan King Azrael — the most feared, most ruthless lycan alive.A beast who doesn't love, doesn't feel, and doesn't show mercy.He didn't want her either. But he kept her — not as a wife, not as a mate. As a toy. Something pretty to break when he's bored.“You're mine until I decide you're not, little mouse. And I haven't decided yet.”He tortures her, taunts her, watches her break and smiles like it's art.But somewhere between the cruelty and the madness, his hands learned her body before his heart learned her name. He doesn't want to love her — he wants to own her, tame her, ruin her so completely that no one else will ever want what's left.And the damning part? She's starting to crave it.But there is a little secret that Azrael doesn't know.This is not Valoria's first rodeo in life.He doesn't know the Moon Goddess ripped her from death with one mission; to seduce him, tame him, and end his reign. One hundred days. That's all she has before he kills her or she kills him.The only thing the goddess didn't warn her about was the thin chance of falling for the monster she's supposed to destroyWARNINGS: This is a DARK romance. Azrael is not your soft misunderstood hero. He is brutal, possessive, morally corrupt, addictive, and utterly unhinged. Expect 18+ smutty content, dubcon, PLOT TWISTS, and a monster who might either steal or crush your heart.Proceed at your own risk (of addiction, lmao).
